WikiMiniAtlas

WikiMiniAtlas is a Javascript plugin to display a draggable, zoomable, and clickable worldmap (as well as Moon, Mars, Venus, Mercury, Io and Titan imagery) in geocoded Wikipedia articles. The map contains links to all other geocoded articles in Wikipedia and can be magnified down to streetlevel. 3D building models are displayed in modern browsers. While it looks similar to Google Maps it is our own software and free data.

Go to White House. Check out the -icon in the top right corner. Click it and drag the map around. Use the +/- buttons to zoom in and out, use the downward arrow to open the config page.
